BJP State president Bandi Sanjay Kumar alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao was skipping the meeting of NITI Aayog unable to face Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In a release here on Saturday soon after the press conference addressed by Mr. Chandrashekar Rao, the BJP president recalled how the Chief Minister had appreciated the NITI Aayog in the past.
“Why can’t you raise the same issues on the platform of NITI Aayog if you are sincere? Are you ready to say sorry if we proved that more than ₹5,000 crore was given by the Centre during last year? When you stop MLA from speaking in the Assembly by ringing a bell, how will it be wrong at NITI Aayog meeting?” asked Mr. Sanjay adding that the Chief Minister was worried about Centre directly sending funds to local bodies without involving the State Government. He said that it was not right on the part of the Chief Minister to blame the NITI Aayog.
